*Shakes head* This is the hootenany I was speaking of. You know a couple years ago people were claiming 30-40 Mega pixels to outdo 35mm film, that number keeps dropping, but people still claim you need such and such ludicrous amount of pixels to out do the resolution of film. well, I have been a witness to a test on the net, that compares, side to side, crops of Fuji provia 35mm film and a 6MP DSLR, and the two are almost exactly the same with the digital getting slightly better color response IMO.

There is the link to it.
Besides if you think 8mp is some kind of insurance for film, its not, digital is just going to keep getting bigger and better.
